- you want one that is 37cm (1ft) wider inside
A simple two-horse trailer from Bateson, similar in capacity to the maker's Deauville model. At 2300kg gross it stays towable by a mid-size 4x4 or pickup, which is why it turns up with private owners and small livery yards rather than professional transporters.
